Yoshi amie has rough storyboards now. #Yoshi #Nintendo #SuperMario

there’s this weird idea a lot of people seem to have about how all of us writers and artists must secretly want to use AI and are merely resisting temptation for ethical reasons, and like, no, it’s not hard for me to resist drinking the bowl of Piss With Glass In It actually

"my child could make this"

are they making it though? as in, do you let them? are they allowed to pursue art and the joy it provides? are they creating? its so hard to create nowadays. is your child given the abundance of freedom that creativity offers, or are they stifled by your judgemental mind?

Anyway, I hope those kids who got shot in Denver are okay.

when people fool us with our knowledge and consent, that's entertainment, like a stage magician or visual effects in movies or a themepark

when people fool us without or knowledge or consent, it's generally at our expense, and we call it a prank, a scam or a grift

so which is genAI striving for?

Deskilling is real.

This is the world generative AI peddlers long for, one where people are incompetent without their service.

Don't outsource your brain to this shit. You'll regret it.

A watercolor pencil sketch of a giraffe as it looks in the brain of Kiki.

There is a constant struggle where I want to just draw my *idea* of something, and hold myself back because I worry about getting details *wrong* without reference

I'm getting better about appreciating the idea, again. It doesn't have to be a stylistically photo accurate giraffe!

Luigi & Daisy out on a date! ☀️

for @kovalxyren.bsky.social

I read, I've researched, I've listened to AI bros- both those who try to pretend it's the future and those who admit they just want waifus, I've seen so much fucked up shit AI's done like suicide chat bots, mass cheating in schools, revenge porn, etc...
I don't know how to argue against it anymore

drew @smartdazzle.bsky.social ‘s oc bc sometimes pretty girls help art block ☁️

A photo of legs shown from the front and side. Beside it, the words "let's simplify!" and a breakdown of the most basic rhythms found in those angles. For the front, it bellows outward as if bouncing against a surface. For the side, it dives back before adjusting at the knee and pulling forward towards the foot. More text, saying "it feels a bit much-- but it works! (We can always tighten it up later). For now, we want to be CLEAR!" And then sketches of the rhythms pushed so it's obvious where they are going and how they have gotten there

Expanding on that The same blue sketches of leg rhythms as before, but now there are a combination of straights and contrasting rhythms drawn overtop in red to show where we can find structure or smooth out our intense rhythms. Text reads "we add a mixture of straights and contrasting rhythms to focus on our big idea. This is based on underlying anatomy, structure." There is another sketch of this all pulled together in one drawing so that it can be seen how it all works together in a unified sketch rather than drawing overtop of an existing one, and a sketch of the basic leg anatomy showing structure of the knee and lower leg bones being overlapped by significant superficial muscles, with color coded arrows showing the contrasting rhythms and the structural straights

Start by pushing those broad rhythms to make your choices CLEAR. [a sketch of very pushed rhythms so that it's obvious where things are going. Pushed far beyond what we would see IRL]. Then, elaborate and describe. [The previous sketch turned red with lowered opacity, as new lines overtop show how I use those original rhythms as a basis for developing nuance without getting rid of the original lines] 1, 2, 3! [The two sketches put together in solid black, showing how even though lines seem to pull through and across each other the drawing is clear because it follows the underlying pushed rhythms.]

Spent a moment helping a friend out with leg rhythms this morn, figured I'd share for y'all!

pencil sketch of my oc Erödravelle walking in the wilderness/fields with a determined pose and expression towards the viewer with added line effects for extra dynamism and dramatic effect, the wind is blowing her large frilly maid dress and apron as she is holding and dragging her polearm like weapon/tool alongside her. She has short hair on this one.

Your mission today, should you choose to accept it, is to head over to a local comic book store and buy something outside of your normal purchasing habits. Something you heard was awesome, but haven’t tried yet. Something by a creator/s who you love, but is trying something new to you. #comics
